This hybrid doesn't seem to exist on inat. The female is pure Pateke, but the male has several mallard traits such as a grey tail, and a particularly green head.

Coastal.
It caught a Scolecenchelys breviceps, however swallowing it seemed almost impossible.

I spotted a beached-wrecked bird carcass while patrolling Muriwai Beach. My friend, Ariel Wijaya, who I was walking with when I spotted the bird, then delivered it to Ian Mclean of Birds of New Zealand. Photos were taken and reviewed, and the general consensus was Little Bronze Cuckoo. Small, reddish-brownish bird, with rufous, black, and white undertail coverts. The bird is currently at the Auckland Museum and will be prepared as a specimen. This bird is native to Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Australia. New record for New Zealand.

Honestly this dude just came to terrorise us while we were eating lunch.
A couple of petrels wandered (stumbled maybe a more appropriate description), out of the bush, at least one seemingly very attracted to the UE Boom playing music (Move on up by Curtis Mayfield, if anyone would like to repeat this test for science).
The petrel proceeded to sit right next to the speaker and snap at anyone who tried to come anyone near him. See last photos for the deadly attack launched upon a team mate innocently enjoying lunch

Fantail seen among our process plant
Most likely came out in one of the jumbo containers, as we have had no strong blowing winds from any direction of late.

Our platform is 76kms from the nearest land, funny thing is we have had little to no wind for the last five days, although what little we have had has been from the NE

Is anyone able to identify the species of bird that this black backed gull has presumably scavenged. Seen at the northern end of Tiritiri Matangi Island. Must be at the upper size limit of what it can carry? This is one of two images.

Adorable! Little fluffy chick riding on one parent's back and being fed by both parents. Only the non-chick-bearing parent could fully submerge to forage.

This observation is for the prey species. The adult blackbird has been thrashing and consuming the chick
for about five minutes now.

A pair of swallows was determined to build a nest on the side of our vehicle. For several days the routine was them applying the mud, etc., and me cleaning it off. They clearly weren't getting the hint but did eventually give up when I hung a plastic bag in the door frame to put them off.

Saw this ruru as it flew a short distance down the track; I found it settled roughly 10m from the track. It seemed distinctly interested in me and at one stage flew a little closer.

Observed after the end of the 2021 breeding season.
At least 10 adult birds gathered on beach, lots of interaction between birds. Very relaxed behaviour. A few days later all birds had departed with none to be seen on the beach.

We watched the bird chase the Black-billed gull round the house, up and down until it struck. Amazing as they are about the same size!

First New Zealand record. Saw the bird sheltering behind a small bush for around 30 minutes. It then turned and scurried out of sight behind the cliff face. 5 minutes later the bird was back in the same position behind the bush.

This bird was first photographed and reported via the NZ Bird Identification Facebook group. Upon seeing this we made a visit to Waikanae Estuary and scanned the flock of White-fronted Terns several times before the bird flew in and landed amongst them around 11:45am. It then roosted for 45 minutes before leaving to feed in the channel with the majority of the tern flock.
Basic plumage marsh tern with extensive black headphone markings on head, darker grey upperparts than the similar White-winged black tern, along with a longer bill, darker legs, a grey rump, and grey shoulder tabs which are diagnostic for Black tern. This is likely the Eurasian subspecies Chlidonias niger niger owing to the pale underwings and relatively small shoulder tab markings. Would be the 1st record of this species for New Zealand if accepted.
